Why I Dislike Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian! She's a controversial, money-making figure that we can't escape. Most people dislike her because of a number of things: sex tape, reality show, dating a rapper, possible fake butt... I don't care about any of those things. In fact, I used to defend her. She has to be good at something because she is making more cash than me.

But here's why I hate dislike her now. She managed to trivialize the heart-breaking disease that is infertility. When she began discussing her pregnancy she said something like..."Khloe talks about her problems, but I (Kim) haven't." Kim went on to talk about a trip to a doctor, in which the doctor told her she had low levels. Kim tried to make it seem as if she could be infertile because she was on birth control pills.

Kim got pregnant within a year of TRYING. Yes, I say trying. It's obvious she wanted that baby. However, she saw the backlash coming because uhm...she's still technically married. She's technically married and CHOSE to have a child with someone else. To quiet that brewing shit storm, she dropped the big "I" word...INFERTILITY.

Kim, let me tell you what infertility is:

+Trying for nearly seven years to get pregnant (keep in mind, I never took a birth control pill, until I started the IVF process. The doctor used them to suppress my hormones so she could control them.)

+Failing an IUI, even though you produced three follicles

+Taking painful shots to get your ovaries to produce an unnatural amount of eggs for IVF

+Having a surgery to remove your fibroids and then finding out you still have a shit load of fibroids

+Waiting to find out if your embryos make it to day five

+Waiting to find out if they passed their Pre-implantation screening

+Fearing transferring the embryos back to your uterus because you're not sure your body can care for them

+Crying every night under the pressure of knowing a crackhead can get pregnant, but you can't. Plus, watching the bills mount that you can't pay because you're not a reality star
